4Important Customer Information
ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive
atmospheres such as fueling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on
boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where
flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user
should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised
not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations,
and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations
are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,
but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Important Customer Information
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
OAvoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel
frame of a building).
OAvoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
OUse only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that
do not contain any metal.
OUse of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this
device is prohibited in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any personal medical device(s), consult the manufacturer of
your device(s) to determine if the device(s) are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining
this information. Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any
regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health
care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external
RF energy.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider,
or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

6Important Customer Information
NON-IONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety from
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for personal
safety, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use
only the supplied internal antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance
and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-
compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure
optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is
within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your
device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may
impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level
than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN
USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
HAC
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some
of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some
newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested
yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of
this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or
cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on
hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange
policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.
